Is it possible that I got one of these as a hitch hiker? I have noticed at least one tiny starfish in my tank. It has stubby arms, but I am not sure if this is because he is so small. I dont have a camera at the moment, but will try to get a pic of him.
I was looking around the invert section of SWF.com and noticed the pic there, again... hes small, so its hard to tell, smaller than a dime so far. I have some Zoas in the tank I would be worried about. I also have white spots on my coraline algea, wondering if he could be doing that too.

Just a guess, but try searchin Asterina. I had the same thing the other day they are common hitch hikers. Came here to get an ID too.
